Question submitted to demand answers on Balkis

Yesterday was the last day for Selangor state assemblymen and women to submit their questions for oral and written replies.

The state assembly is scheduled to convene on 21st May to 26th May. All questions for oral and written replies must be submitted not later than 21 days before the state assembly is called for meeting according to the Standing Order.

I have submitted altogether ten questions for oral replies and ten questions for written replies. My first question for oral reply touches on the recent Balkis fiasco where former Balkis chairperson, Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik is alleged to have “smuggled” a total of RM9.9 million Balkis fund to be placed under Bakti.

In my question to the Menteri Besar, I have asked for the latest investigation from Registrar of Society (ROS). My question is as below:


Bertanya kepada Y.A.B Dato’ Menteri Besar: -
a) Apakah siasatan terbaru daripada Pendaftar Pertubuhan terhadap pembubaran Balkis, urusan-urusan tanah dan kewangannya?
b) Apakah tindakan yang akan diambil terhadap mereka yang menyalahgunakan kuasa khususnya pemindahan wang RM9.9 juta?
c) Meminta satu senarai penuh aktiviti Balkis dari tahun 2004 hingga 2007.

I hope that the Balkis office, Registrar of Societies (ROS) can furnish all relevant information to the office of the state government as it could be a breach of state assembly’s privilege if the relevant offices refuse to furnish such information, and that the matter could be referred to the Committee of Privileges of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly Hall.

I read with disgust and anger each time I hear another national service trainee dies due to whatever 'reasons' given by the relevant persons /authorities in charge at the training camps.

My worry is why this continues to happen even though the rakyat have voiced out our discontentment to stop the continuation of the national service program??

Are we going to wait for more of our future generation to 'die' before action is taken against them? Have anyone heard of Singaporeans dying during their National Service programmes? I wonder...

I hope DAP / PR ADUNS & MPs can bring this matter up in Parliament as well so that innocent lives are not taken away from their loved ones so suddenly... we're talking about HUMAN LIVES here and hope the authorities will look into this seriously.
